Butterflies Forever's Future?

We are planning too raise butterflies for educational distribution. 
We hope to be raising a few Oregon native species in 2007.

Butterflies Forever's History

  • We started as a non-profit in the mid 90's -our first seminars were about Oregon butterflies and butterfly gardening.
  • 1997 we commissioned a feasibility study on an educational garden in Oregon.Seaside Garden
  • May 1999 Butterflies Forever opened Oregon's first live butterfly garden of 4,000 square feet in Seaside.
  • The Seaside Garden was open summers through September 2001, our attendance grew every year at an amazing rate.
  • The Seaside Garden was a temporary site and the landowner decided to sell the property.  We thought we had a permanent location in Astoria but that was withdrawn in 2003 when we had not opened a facility due to the horrible economy of the North Coast region.
